there are 3 dual post coil packs underneath the front exhaust manifold.
If it's the 4.0 L - OHV - V6 engine - the coil pack is on the passenger side of the engine above the passenger side valve cover ( just look for the spark plug wires ) The 4.0 L - SOHC - V6 engine coil pack is on the drivers side of the engine The 5.0 L - V8 engine coil packs are at the front of the engine
On a 2000 Ford Explorer : With the 4.0 liter SOHC , V6 engine ( it is on the drivers side of the engine , you will see where the 6 spark plug wires are connected to the 6 towers on the coil pack ) With the 4.0 liter EFI , V6 engine ( it is on the passenger side of the engine ) The coil pack towers are numbered : coil-----3 - 4 pack----2 - 6 plug-----1 - 5
coil---3---4 pack--2---6 plug---1---5 for the 4.0 L - SOHC - V6 engine coil pack
On the Ford Explorer that has the EDIS ignition system ( Electronic Distributorless Ignition System ) instead of a distributor it has a coil pack with 6 coil pack towers for the V6 engine
coil---3---4 pack--2---6 plug---1---5
It is built inside the distributor on that engine.
For the 4.2 L - V6 engine coil----3---4 pack---2---6 plug----1---5
On a Ford V6 engine coil pack : The 6 towers are numbered : coil---3 - 4 pack--2 - 6 plug---1 - 5 ( at least they are on every drawing I have seen )
To change the coil pack and leads on a Mondeo V6, start by disconnecting the negative battery terminal for safety. Remove the engine cover if applicable, then locate the coil pack; disconnect the electrical connectors and unscrew the coil pack. After removing it, replace the old leads by pulling them off the spark plugs, and attach the new leads to the coil pack and spark plugs. Finally, reinstall the coil pack, reconnect all connectors, and reattach the battery terminal.
The 2.8 V6 has a single coil, not a coil pack It is located behind the distributor and on top of the engine. Unplug the wire harness, un bolt and reverse procedure to change.
coil----3---4 pack---2---6 plug----1---5 I've never seen a picture of a coil pack for any Ford V6 engine that shows any different numbering
If you have the four cylinder.. trace the spark plug wires back to their source.. this is the coil pack. On V6 models they have a distributer, which is located down the right side of the engine, by the battery..
